Georg Baselitz is a German artist known for his neo-expressionist paintings with particular brushstrokes and often painted upside down. His style, which includes sculpture and printmaking, explores what it means to be a German artist in the post-war period and is characterized by bold colors, energetic strokes and elements of folklore. His provocative subjects that address the political history of his country and his outspokenness make him a personality in the art world. Born Hans-Georg Kern on January 23, 1938 in Deutschbaselitz, Germany, Baselitz was named after his hometown in 1961. Willem de Kooning was his inspiration from a traveling exhibition of American Abstract Expressionists he saw when he is a student. His work also features the influence of Philip Guston and Jackson Pollock. He lives and works in Salzburg, Austria.
